Finland aims to create a world class teaching and research university by 2020, pooling resources from several universities into the new Aalto University.
Aalto University will be a beacon for Finland as a nation of innovations.
The idea comes from California and Stanford University, well known for it's world class academic milieu combined with a large range of venture capital offers, where hundreds of students run businesses from their own rooms.
From 2010, Helsinki's University of Technology, Helsinki School of Economics and the University of Art and Design pool their best resources in a new foundation funded by public and private company money. The three universities already work together and opened this autumn term together.
